These figures are beautifully animated - should make for a smashing scene :mrgreen: (pun fully intended)

Hi
Yeah the figure's are really nice, wish I could get some more.
Well Canon's are finished apart from some dirtying once I've got the ground colour worked out.
Still also need to shine the rims on the wheels.

Hi Shaun,

This is fantastic, what a great project with so much nostalgic atmosphere!

Nice figures too! It must be fun to paint colourful uniforms for a change, instead of the more drab colours.

I must look out for one of these kits!

Trying hard to do some modeling!

Hello
Decided that the figure's needed there accoutrements as none where provided.
As all the years I did re-enacting of American Civil War even in the heat of summer ( shirt sleeve order) we still carried the basic of kit,
so managed to find some of the Dragon Union figure's on Ebay which had been started, as I only wanted the Canteens, Haversack, Cap Pouches these would do the job.
So I'm in the process of adding these to the figure's.

Thanks Vincent
Finished the figure's :D apart from 1 which I've got to try & reposition due to arm not going where it's needed :roll: .
Have started to position them on the base.

Not sure how the M109 will fit in a civil war diorama but the rest of it looks great! :D
